To the moderator – #JustForFun! 🙂
Well! Let’s start with a dedication for the awesome moderator of this forum –
Brimful of Asha –
I recently (literally!) discovered music. It started off with Trap Music in the gym. A few “haunting songs” as follows –
My journey started off with this song which I first heard in the gym –
Crooked Colours – In Your Bones [Official Video]
To be fair, the first time I heard this was in the form of a remix –
Crooked Colours – In Your Bones (Chiefs Remix)
When I first heard this song in the gym, I just had to know what it was right then and there.
So I quickly downloaded an app called “Shazam” (which I had heard of in 2008 but never bothered to even look at). Literally like magic, Shazam identified the song and put the video on the playlist.
Listening to this remix made me want to explore music.
From here is where I went to the original song and understood that the remix was part of a genre (I had never heard of) called Trap Music.
Because of Trap Music, I started listening to songs from a website called www.8tracks.com (and corresponding app).
It opened up a fascinating world where people put up the songs they want other people to hear.
A world of discovery indeed!
Which led me to the Acid Jazz genre –
In which I came across Que Sera by Wax Tailor –
followed by
Miss Chang by Chinese Man (One of the most original videos I have ever come across)
A sudden shift to Galt McDermot – Coffee Cold
Now, I am discovering a genre called Electronic Jazz –
Koop Island Blues by Koop
To paraphrase from the song above –
“The truth is…we ran out of time”.
So I will end here with this last bit.
I am really enjoying my new found love for music. Interesting music.
I feel music should not only be “comfortable” or just help you “relax”. Music should be like the nudge you need to move forward and “want to know more”.
So Rodinhooders, what is the music that makes you “Think” ?
Waiting to hear from you! 🙂
Ps – Here’s an 8-tracks playlist I put together with different forms of Jazz (mostly instrumental) starting with the amazing Galt MacDermot. Hope you enjoy it!

Racing with the Sun – Ella Jenkins and The Goodwill Spiritual Choir of the Monumental Baptist Church
Get your days work done
Get your days work done
Or soon youll be
Racing with the sun.
Make your plans today
Fore the evenings on
Or youll end up
Racing with the sun
Hard, hard, times
That youve had
Hard, hard times
But today youre mighty glad.
Cause your works all through
And your battles won
Now youll never never be
Racing with the sun.
